Joined Find a Grave on December 26, 2003.(I don't do this just for me~ if I have photos that you'd like to use for your Ancestry projects please feel free to do so... and No - I don't need to get credit for the photo...)

I had been looking for my Paternal Grandmother's grave for a very long time... no one in the family could tell me where it was. Thanks to this site, and Carolyn Farnum I have found her final resting place~! Thank You for all your work!

To repay the kindness, I make an attempt to put as many photos and grave markers that I can on Find a Grave.

If I have added a grave and you would like it to be transferred to you, just let me know...

~*~ONE FINAL GIFT~*~

Scatter me not to the restless windsNor toss my ashes to the sea.Remember now those years gone byWhen loving gifts I gave to thee.Remember now the happy timesThe family ties are shared.Don't leave my resting place unmarkedAs though you never cared.Deny me not one final giftFor all who came to see.A simple lasting proof that saysI loved and you loved me.

Francis M. Lapp #19692349Thanks for posting the photo of his tombstone in Pleasant Ridge Cem. in Skagit Co., Washington. I never thought I'd ever have a photo of it that far away....I live in Ohio.....Is Francis on your family tree??? If not, I would appreciate having his memorial transferred to me (#47767300). He was my grt. grdpa's nephew. Do you know Francis was one of 22 children ??? I love the poem on your site. I like poetry & that one just "fits". Thanks.

grave marker photoJean, have been working on the Saxon Cemetery and created a missing memorial for Mabel E Hamel, #141123097, spouse of Earnest A Hamel #6064689. You have posted a grave marker photo for Earnest that is a shared marker with Mabel. Could you post your pictures on Mabel's memorial as well. Thanks.
